Poison concubine curses the world

Chapter 198

The queen mother liked Princess Mingzhu from the bottom of her heart, took Princess Mingzhu's hand, and smiled amiably: "How can you not worry, today is not only Aijia's birthday, but also a good day for Princess Mingzhu, Aijia Mingzhu must be beautiful!" "Queen." Princess Mingzhu lowered her head shyly and stopped talking.The queen mother smiled and took Princess Mingzhu's hand, took a bracelet from her hand and said, "This is the dowry of the Ai family back then, and now it is given to Princess Mingzhu."

Princess Mingzhu looked at the bracelet flattered, and hurriedly got up to bow down, but the queen mother stopped her and said, "No need to bow, get up."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager doted on Princess Mingzhu so much, the emperor couldn't help thinking of Mingxia, why didn't Mingxia come here, she was too capricious in front of civil and military officials, he couldn't help but sighed.

Just as he was talking, he heard the eunuch shouting outside: "Prince Tuoba Rong of Xuesang Kingdom has arrived!"

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw Prince Tuobarong holding a guqin in his arms, a silver-white mask covering his face, a tall figure, a black robe, a white jade belt, and black hair as black as jade, gracefully looking like a fairy, the emperor couldn't help but nodded, He said to the Queen Mother: "The first time I saw this Prince Tuoba Rong, I liked him quite a bit, and he really has an extraordinary bearing!"

The queen mother smiled and nodded, looked at Princess Mingzhu and whispered: "Princess Mingzhu is quite satisfied, I think this Tuoba Rong is several times better than Lord Yu, Aijia is really for your own good!"

Princess Mingzhu was so ashamed that she didn't dare to raise her head, she just sneaked a glance at Prince Tuobarong, and felt her heart beating like a deer after just one glance, and she didn't dare to take a second look.

Seeing this, the queen on the side smiled and said, "Prince Tuoba Rong is a real dragon among men, and she is also a talented woman with Princess Mingzhu. The chief of the county is very grateful to the emperor for his help!"

Princess Mingzhu smiled gracefully, and the emperor also smiled.

It is well known that Prince Tuobarong of the Xuesang Kingdom is good at temperament, but no one has ever heard him play the piano. Seeing him holding the piano now is naturally to play for the Queen Mother. Everyone can't help but look forward to it, wanting to know this What is so special about Prince Tuoba Rong!
After Tuoba Rong came to the main hall to salute, he sat on the ground, free and undisciplined, as if this is not the palace but the outskirts of the mountains.Immediately, someone became displeased, and began to whisper to each other.The Empress Dowager puts the most emphasis on etiquette, and seeing Prince Tuoba Rong's laziness, her expression turned ugly.

Princess Mingzhu looked at the Empress Dowager's face, and then looked back at the Empress, and saw that the Empress was also displeased, so naturally she didn't dare to look at Tuoba Rong any more, so she obediently sat beside the Empress Dowager, not daring to say a word.

The emperor didn't take it seriously, and looked at Tuoba Rong with great interest. He had heard that he had superb piano skills. Today, he was lucky enough to hear the sound of Prince Tuoba Rong's piano, so he couldn't miss it.Seeing that the Empress Dowager's complexion was not good, she said with a smile: "This prince is informal, I like such a frank and casual person!"

The empress dowager's face softened a little when she heard the emperor say this.

The queen hurriedly interjected and laughed: "Yes, yes, I heard that those outsiders are very casual. Empress Dowager, you see that Prince Tuobarong is very handsome, but he is different from ordinary people."

The Empress Dowager's face turned better, she went to see Princess Mingzhu, and said with a smile, "What does Princess Mingzhu think?" "As long as the Queen Mother likes it, Princess Mingzhu has nothing to say!" Princess Mingzhu whispered, but her face turned red , the queen mother knew at a glance that Princess Mingzhu had a good impression of Prince Tuobarong, so she smiled and said, "Okay, the Ai family knows it!"

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, Prince Tuoba Rong put the qin on his knee lightly, and his lazy voice sounded. "Your Majesty, apart from congratulating the Empress Dowager on her birthday, Tuoba Rong also has another important matter. In order to show the sincerity of our Xuesang Kingdom in marrying the Princess of the Imperial Capital, I specially brought The thousand-year-old coral tree, the national treasure of the Xuesang Kingdom, please the emperor make the decision for Tuoba Rong!"

As soon as Tuoba Rong finished speaking, everyone started whispering again. You must know that the thousand-year-old coral is red for thousands of years, which is the national treasure of the Xuesang Kingdom. It was actually used as a dowry gift to marry the princess of the imperial capital. It can be seen that the monarch of the Xuesang Kingdom is very serious about this matter. The degree of attention!
The emperor smiled and said: "Prince Tuoba Rong is too polite, the imperial capital and Xuesang Kingdom have always been on good terms, since your father gave me face in this way, then I can't be stingy, I know that Tuoba Rong is not an ordinary person, the general reward must be to see You don't like it, I can grant you one wish, as long as you say it, I will definitely agree!"

Although it has not been officially announced yet, everyone knows that Prince Tuoba Rong will soon become the future husband-in-law of Princess Mingxia in the imperial capital.

The emperor's tone of voice made Princess Mingzhu earn enough face, she couldn't help but smile smugly, and there were envious eyes from all over the court, she glanced at the emperor, Mingxia hadn't come yet, she couldn't help sneering.Fighting with me, in the end it wasn't that I became the crown princess in a glorious manner, but you are just a reckless wife. When I become the queen of Xuesang Kingdom in the future, I must look good on you! "Since the emperor opened his mouth, then Tuoba Rong will not be polite, Tuoba Rong hopes to choose the princess concubine by himself!" Prince Tuoba Rong's eyes lit up, he did not expect the emperor to propose such a condition, suddenly appeared in his mind For that savage girl who threw stones at her, hehe, we have a bright future!
Both the emperor and the queen mother were taken aback for a moment, and then smiled and said: "I only have one princess, but now I have decided to make Princess Mingzhu also my princess of the Hua Dynasty, so."

Tuoba Rong was startled, his phoenix eyes glanced at the emperor and the queen mother and landed on Princess Mingzhu. She was dressed in a pink palace dress, with a phoenix hairpin on her head that symbolized the nobility of the royal family. Looking towards him with tenderness, he knew that this was one of the emperor's princesses. Seeing that this princess is dignified and elegant, which princess is it?
Thinking of this smile, he said, "I don't know the other princess."

Seeing Prince Tuoba Rong mentioning Mingxia, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, and whispered to the emperor: "Mingxia is really too bold, she dared to be absent on such an important occasion, it really shames the royal family!"

As soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she saw Mingxia running in with a bundle, panting: "Mingxia respectfully wishes the Empress Dowager such blessings as Donghai and longevity than Nanshan, the more she lives, the younger she is, the more she lives, the more beautiful she is!" Handed it to the little eunuch on the side, said with a smile: "This is Mingxia's birthday gift to the Queen Mother, I hope the Queen Mother likes it!"

The little eunuch presented the burden, the emperor glared at Mingxia, and said with a smile: "Queen, let's see what birthday gift Mingxia has prepared for you?"

Mingxia shrugged her shoulders and stuck out her tongue, only to find that Tuoba Rong who was sitting in the hall kept turning his nose and staring at him making faces, Tuoba Rong smiled slightly and ignored her.

The queen mother was already angry when she saw that she was dressed casually, and she was even more angry when she saw that she was flirting with Prince Tuobarong. Announce the matter!" As he spoke, he gave Mingxia a look, and he will clean you up later, a little girl has turned the world upside down!

The emperor also saw that Ming Xia's behavior was inappropriate, so he hurriedly shouted: "Okay, sit by Zhen's side!"

Mingxia then ran to the emperor and sat down. Ye Ranchen's face turned from white to black. As soon as Mingxia sat down, Sima Xu frowned and said in a low voice, "Mingxia, where did you go? It's such an important occasion." , don’t make things difficult for the royal father and the queen mother! Just now, the royal father has named Princess Mingzhu as a princess, so you should be more careful and don’t conflict with her in the hall!"

Mingxia has always disliked Princess Mingzhu, and the two of them started bickering as soon as they met, and they were both bold and ignorant of the occasion.

Mingxia stared at Ye Ranchen as if looking at a monster, and hummed: "Brother Chen, I got it, don't treat me like a child, I've grown up, if she likes the prince of Xuesang Kingdom Hurry up and let them get married and go back to Xuesang Country, I have absolutely no objection!" "You!" Ye Ranchen sighed and gave Mingxia a look, but couldn't get angry, so he had to turn his head to look at her. Prince Tuobarong, seeing that Prince Tuobarong seemed to be staring at Mingxia all the time, laughed softly: "I think the prince of Xuesang Kingdom is still interested in my sister!"

Mingxia frowned, and wanted to say something, but when she turned around, she found that the Queen Mother was staring at her viciously, she immediately lowered her head and dared not speak.

Seeing this scene, Tuoba Rong couldn't help feeling cold, she turned out to be Princess Mingxia, but it seems that she doesn't like him very much!Thinking about it, she glanced at Princess Mingzhu, only to see Princess Mingzhu staring at Mingxia with hatred, and made a guess in her heart.

I heard the emperor say in a very angry voice: "My dear friends, I have decided to betroth Princess Mingzhu to Prince Tuobarong of Xuesang Kingdom, I."

When Mingxia heard this, she immediately burst into a smile, and whispered: "Brother Chen, why did the father suddenly..." "The emperor"

Before the emperor finished speaking, Tuoba Rong interrupted, "Tuoba Rong is not going to marry Princess Mingzhu, but Princess Mingxia!"

Seeing that he had interrupted himself in front of so many people, the emperor immediately darkened his face and said, "What is the meaning of the third prince? As I said just now, Mingzhu is already a princess! Princess Mingzhu is proficient in martial arts , I think she is very suitable for the third prince, does the third prince have any objections?"

Tuoba Rong clasped his fists and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, I think my father made it very clear in the letter that it is not Princess Mingzhu who wants this crown prince to propose to Princess Mingxia of Huachao! I am from Xuesang Kingdom The third prince did not disgrace Princess Mingxia, could it be that the emperor thinks that my Xuesang country is not worthy of Princess Mingxia, so he used a princess to fool my Xuesang country?" "Bold!" The emperor scolded loudly: " Tuoba Rong, you are just a little prince, how dare you question me?"

Seeing the emperor's fury, the envoys of the Xuesang Kingdom hurried out and knelt on the ground, saying: "Your Majesty, please calm down! I, the third prince, have absolutely no intention of questioning your majesty! It's just that the prince has always heard that Princess Mingxia is naive, and he has always heard that Princess Mingxia is innocent. I really admire Princess Mingzhu, although Princess Mingzhu is very good, but the prince only has Princess Mingxia in his heart, so please ask the emperor to be the master and make our prince happy!"

After hearing this, the emperor's face softened a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, you all sit down!"

Although Mingxia is very favored on weekdays, since the emperor is angry, she is not afraid of it, but in front of so many civil and military officials, she does not dare to be too presumptuous. Seeing the emperor is angry, her heart is like fifteen buckets of water There are many ups and downs, I am afraid that the emperor will marry him to Tuoba Rong as soon as he lets go, as long as the emperor says it in front of so many people, no joke, I will marry Tuoba Rong! "Brother Chen, hurry up and say something for me, don't let my father let me go and marry me to Xuesang Country!" Mingxia anxiously grabbed Ye Ranchen's sleeve.

Seeing this scene, the queen smiled and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it seems that the third prince of Xuesang Kingdom still likes our Princess Mingxia. If so, why not make the two of them happy? Do you think so, Queen Mother?" Then he went to see the queen mother.
